The natural history of cavernous angiomas is poorly understood, and their growth has rarely been documented. We report three cases of cavernous angiomas that grew to large size in 6 years, 2 years, and 2 months, respectively. An initial computed tomographic scan disclosed no abnormalities in one patient and demonstrated two "minimal" lesions in the other two. The mechanisms of growth of these lesions are discussed; subsequent hemorrhages and capsule formation played a major role in their enlargement.
海绵状血管瘤的自然病史了解甚少，其生长情况也鲜有记录。我们报告3例海绵状血管瘤，分别在6年、2年和2个月内长至很大体积。1例患者最初的计算机断层扫描未发现异常，另外2例显示有2个“微小”病灶。本文讨论了这些病灶的生长机制；随后的出血和包膜形成在其增大过程中起了主要作用。
